The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology is a charter school founded in 2007. The current principal is Dr. Jeff Mathews. The school features class integration, with a heavy focus on Mathematics, Science, and Technology. The school offers many options usually not available at regular High Schools. Upon entering GSMST, guests will notice a mature and lively atmosphere, busy with working students and assisting teachers. A more noticeable feature of GSMST is personal laptops. Lenovo made a generous donation for all GSMST students to have their own laptops. With the implementation of the 1:1 laptop rollout, students have instant access to instructional material and documentation to supplement their classroom research. Students also use their laptops to access the GCPS e-Companion on-line learning site for Health and PE, enter and access science lab data or design environmental structures with the latest AutoCAD software. Teachers and students also have access to Promethium active boards, overhead LCD Projectors, DVD players, a Foreign Language lab, an interactive music lab, and student response systems to further engage students in the classroom and prepare them to be successful in the global workforce of the 21st century.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or technology:
“While most of today’s jobs do not require great intelligence, they do require greater frustration tolerance, personal discipline, organization, management, and interpersonal skills than were required two decades and more ago. These are precisely the skills that many of the young people who are staying in school today, as opposed to two decades ago, lack.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
